Gut Renovation | Residential Interior Architecture & Design | Project Management
This residential project began with a desire to transform the home into a space that better supported the client’s evolving lifestyle while
enhancing its architectural character. What started as a refresh quickly became a full gut renovation, driven by the need to create a
more open, functional, and welcoming environment for daily living and family life.
The design process focused on reimagining the interior architecture with thoughtful intention. Original closets were eliminated to open
the foyer, allowing it to lead gracefully into each room and establish a stronger sense of flow throughout the home. The formal dining
room was redefined as a child’s toy room, aligning the layout more closely with the family’s everyday needs. Custom flooring, locally
sourced, was selected to ground the home with warmth and authenticity, while customized doors and detailed moldings were designed
to reflect both craftsmanship and character. New windows were introduced with a carefully considered mullion pattern, honoring the
mid-century architectural language of the home. En-suite bathrooms were designed to provide comfort and privacy, while a custom
fireplace with flanking built-in bookcases became a central feature—adding both function and a sense of gathering.
The completed home feels open, inviting, and thoughtfully resolved. Furnishings, lighting, textiles, art, and accessories bring personality
and softness to the architectural framework, creating a space that feels both expressive and deeply livable. The result is a home that
supports the family’s daily rhythm while reflecting a refined and enduring design sensibility.
A home that lives with you—balanced, expressive, and designed to grow over time.
